ura In racing OH the sea, and truth compeh
the admission that the Thistle seems put up
TO get there" She looks the thorough racer,
and even in to motionless picture she seems
TO ride the waves Us q swift bird cleaves the
air. She Is l30 ton vessel, of a modified
type the British call clipper cutter; her water
line length is s. feet, beam 2o.3, and depth
l4l. She has a good stem and contour; her
mast Is set unusually far forward, II her
boom extends S4If feet from the mast, or ~
feet longer than the boom of the noted May
flower. 1t appears, therefore, that Sue car
ries more canvas than my craft of her size
in the world.
On May 2s, in a fifty mile race on the
south coast OF England, the Thistle beat tue
noted lrcX md Genesta almost out OF sight.
On the 30th, of shore from Harwich, she was
beaten by losing her weather mark in the
fog, but tue next day she outrnn her COMPETE
tor again. On June l occurred tile great
race at the mouth OF the Thames over n fifty
mile course. The Thistle ran it in six hours,
the lrex took twenty-three minutes more,
and the Genesta twenty-five. 1t is expected
that the Thistle will reach the American
coast in September" to contend for the cup
won 10y tue America, and the race will be one
OF national aud International interest,"

EVERY day makes it more and more
evident, says the Denver Times (Rep.)
that the president thinks seriously of
rendering to Secretary Lamar the vacant
seat on the supreme bench. We believe
there is no appointment likely to be made
which would give more general satisfAc-
ton. When it is once conceded that the
selection is to be made from the South, it
weuld seem that there could be only one
reason why the president should hesitate
in comforting the honor upon Mr.. Lamar.
He would naturally hesitate at the pros
pect OF weakening his cabinet. But il is
OF less consequence to have a man of
small calIber In the interior department
than on the supreme bench. Mr.. Lamar
is to day the ablest and fairest minded
man Of the South IN national affairs. He
is capable of strong concentration. he has
a wonderful insight, and few men are SO
capable Of clearing up intricacies and
arriving at the truth of a question. He
is a big headed, big minded man. and,
above all, honest with himself and fair
with the world at large. He has won the
West by his administration of the affairs
of the interior department. We hope he
will secure the iudReship if he desires il.

Tho statue Is Of bronze, life size, being,
with the plinth, eight feet ABOVE tho pedestal,
which Is a four foot cube of Quincy granite.
The statue is the work Of Karl Gerharut,
of Hartford, and from bis plaster model the
cast was made at Chicopee, Mass As there is
no portraito of Halo extant, tho artist has relied
on description, making a heroic figure of the
New England type and youthful mold and Civ
ing it that air Of fire and energy which were
Capt. Hale's chief characteristics. When
condemned the young patriot proudly avowed
his RANK and mission. The British officers
were disposed to trent him with respect, but
his jniler, the notorious Cunningham, do
stroyed the prisoners letters TO his mother,
sister and sweetheart, and even succeeded in
preventing him from having n Bible and the
services of a clergyman. 1t was then, when
led out to execution, that he uttered the mem
orable words above quoted, words cut in
the pedestal Of the statue. The artist has
conceived the expression so perfectly that the
feeling Of tho patriot, but n moment before
bis death, shows in every line Of the statue
as well ms in the face. Mr.. Cerhardt has also
completed an equestrian statue III bronco Of
Israel Putnam, which is to stand in his native
town Of Brooklyn, Conn.

had been postponed until this year. The
train left Algiers at 5;15 In tho morning.
Tho station was druped with flags, orra-
mented with flowers, and made beautiful and
gay for the distinguished company which
was to pass through it
Mighty men Of commerce, postal and tele-
graphic officials, parlinmentariaus, scientists,
artists, journalists both French and Algerian
were on the train. Several courageous ladies
who feared not the fatigue OF travel had nc.
copied tho official invitation. Luz cheons,
cheers and speeches greeted tho party ut the
stations, and III eminent committee received
them when the journey was ended.
The scenery along this railroad is some
thing appalling in its grandeur, quite the
equal of anything in Colorado or Mexico, or
the wild ruilroading in northern Minnesota.
Tho accompanying pictures are from photo,
graphs by OH Algerian photographer. The
first Is a viaduct on the Tuchcine creek, one
Of the uCluents of the river Iser. 1t is not far
from Doiura, iS eighty metres long and
twenty-five high. The scene Is wild and
picturesque in the extreme. In perspective
hills rise beyond hills, covered with Dive trees,
but without human liabitition. Tho novelty
of seeing steam cars roar over q country
where man seems never to have penetrated
fills the Frenchman with something like awe,
and is, to say the least, q theme for Lis
romantic pen to dwell upon.

SEVERAL of the papers have been
kind enough to say some pretty things
about the editor of TIE LEADER, for
which he Is duly grateful. 1t remained
for the Omaha Bee, however, to cap the
climax in announcing the change of man
agement, by abiding to us as the poet
cowboy of the Laramie plains In 1881
the present editor of TAG LEADER was
city editor of the Omaha Bee, but abou'
that time came to Wyoming and went on
the trail with some cattle bound for Mon.
q The cowboy part of the PROPOSE
ton is therefore more or less correct. but
we respectfully insist upon drawing the
line at the poet. In a newspaper expert
ence of a dozen years we have never per-
petrated a single line of poetry.

BERNHARDr when interviewed

SARAH BERNHARDT when interviewed
in Chicago gave piquant expression
to her impressions of America. Bos-
t~onians, she says, are bizarre; the Phila
delphians a people who smile instead of
laugh, who would whisper very good
instead of shouting 'brava." The New
Yorker is the Partisan, the ~cosmopolite, a
little OF everything. If you should pick
him apart and scatter the pieces over the
world each one would probably feel at
home wherever it happened to find itself"
The women are the cleyerest h-lf of the
American people. When asked if she
had any preferences she promptly replied:
Il confess / have-the Californians are
a charming people. They made me
think OF our own sunny France. San
francisco was like Marseilles. 1t is the
blood OF Provence 10 those people out
there by the Pacific. They have the
southern sky and the torrid temper that
goes with it. From that country is going
to come your poets and painters aud
musicians. Genius is born in clover
as the Genese have il. aud out there
genius can browse on the sweetest clover
that ever blushed in Italy"

The clergvmen OF Cheyenne have re-
ceived circulars from the Union Pacific
Railway company which indicate a very
rigid enforcement of the interstate law.
The term minister of religion says The
circular, is understood to mean a person
regularly ordained, licensed or appointed,
as q minister, by a religious organization,
according to the prescribed or usual form
of procedure Of such organization, and
wholly engaged in religious work, without
any other business or occupation which
does, or may, require such person to
travel by rail. Special rates cannot be
made for persons not ministers, engaged
in philanthro2ic or charitable work, or for
ministers who are. engaged in other occu-
pations, in pursuit of which the travel
ling at reduced fare would give them an
advantage over other persons engaged in
the same occupation. Special rates can
not hereafter be made for the families Of

TOOK A POUND OF POISON.
The Old Elephant Bijou Put Out or HI,
Nispry.

BosToN, June 2O.-Bijou, famous ele.
phant that has been before the American
public for sixty years, was killed by poison
last Saturday night at the Worlds Muse
um, whereit has been suffering from old
age and disease. Poison had been prepared
in capsules, which were concealed in choc.
olate caramels. DR.. AL. White offered ono
to the great beast as it lay upon its side.
Bijou took it with great deliberation,
swallowed it and looked up for more. All
that had been prepared were given,
and then the result was awaited. The
poison used was the same DR.. Watts used
in dispatching homeless dogs. 1t did its
work thoroughly. Just forty-fve minutes
after the first bit Of candy had been placed
in its mouth Bijou was dead. For few
minutes there had been convulsive work.
ings of the legs and body, the great head
was partially lifted from the ground and
then fell back; t eyes became fixed and
without another tremor Bijou passed
away. While seven grains of the poison
would kill man pound was used to
bring about similar result with Biiou.
The dead elephant weighed 4,5O0 pounds,
and was strong in proportion. 1t was a
male elephant Of the African species and
some seventy-five years old.
